The Impact of Red Blood Cell Count and Hemoglobin Levels on Bone Remodeling in Mandibular Angle Osteotomy.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPrevious studies have identified bone remodeling in the mandibular angle region (MAR) as a key factor influencing outcomes after mandibular angle osteotomy (MAO). This study investigates hematologic predictors-red blood cell (RBC) count and hemoglobin (Hb) levels-and their correlation with postoperative MAR bone remodeling.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 135 patients who underwent MAO between January 2015 and December 2022. Bone remodeling was assessed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging at two time points: T1 (immediately postoperatively) and T2 (at least 12months postoperatively). Quantification of bone remodeling was performed using Geomagic Wrap 2021. Patients were categorized into bone stability (S), bone regeneration (RG), and bone resorption (RS) groups based on MAR deviations (thresholds: > + 0.1 mm regeneration, < - 0.1 mm resorption, within ± 0.1 mm stability). Statistical analyses, including Kruskal-Wallis tests with post hoc analysis and logistic regression models, were performed to assess associations between RBC count, Hb levels, and bone remodeling outcomes.
resultsPatients with higher preoperative RBC and Hb levels exhibited significantly greater bone remodeling than those with lower levels (p < 0.05). Remodeling was particularly evident in the mandibular angle region. Multivariate analysis confirmed RBC and Hb levels as independent predictors of favorable bone remodeling. A 1 × 10
conclusionsThis study highlights RBC count and Hb levels as potential biomarkers influencing bone remodeling after MAO. These findings suggest that hematologic parameters should be considered during preoperative planning to optimize surgical outcomes and reduce the need for revision procedures.
